Description

Rakshak is a Shree Ram insecticide combining 40% profenofos and 4% cypermethrin, with emulsifier, solvent, and xylene making up 36.4% and the rest filled out by additives and adjuvants. White bottle, magenta cap, label built around a bold pink “Rakshak” banner, with a photo strip below showing sugarcane, cotton, mixed vegetables, and a wheat head — signaling the crop range it’s meant for.

Same ISO 9001:2015 mark as the others on this label too, and same caveat: it’s a manufacturing quality-process certification, not a claim about how well the pesticide performs in the field. The two pink diamond hazard icons on either side of the crop photo are cut off in the image, so I can’t read the signal word off them — worth checking the physical bottle, since profenofos-based formulations are typically classed as moderately to highly toxic in India and usually carry a yellow or red triangle marking.
